Abstract: The manufacturing process comprises introducing a groove (6, 23) in a shaft (2) of a turbine rotor (1) by machining in a prefabrication step, and partially fusing a web groove-edge (25) of the rotor shaft formed during the prefabrication by irradiating with a laser beam in a deforming step at a deformation temperature of 1500[deg] C, so that the edge is rounded-off. The rounded-off edge is subsequently irradiated again with a laser beam in a tempering step. A tempering temperature that is less in comparison to the deformation temperature is produced in the tempering step.

The rounded-off edge is subsequently irradiated again with a laser beam in a tempering step. A tempering temperature that is less in comparison to the deformation temperature is produced in the tempering step. The edge is processed in the tempering step for producing the tempering temperature with a power and a focusing of the laser beam that are less in comparison to the deformation step, and is processed both in the deformation and tempering steps with the same power of the laser beam. The edge is repeatedly worn out in the tempering temperature for producing the tempering temperature with a control speed of the laser beam higher in comparison to the deformation step, and is processed in a partial section of its length only with the deformation step and in other partial section of its length with both the deformation step and the tempering step. The rotor shaft is preheated, where steel is used as material for the rotor shaft and is a low alloy steel (26 nickel-chromium-molybdenum-vanadium 14-5).

Abstract: A fine structure, which produces a diffractive optical effect, is in the method created onto the target surface (120). A transfer foil (100) manufactured from thermoplastic is used in the method, on the surface of which is first created an original fine structure (102), which produces a diffractive optical effect. The original fine structure can be created with electron beam lithography, chemical or plasma etching or various printing techniques, such as screen printing or hot embossing. The transfer foil is placed on the target surface, and it is heated to a temperature, which is close to the glass transition temperature of the material of the transfer foil. Simultaneously during the heating or immediately after the heating the transfer foil can be lightly pressed against the target surface, whereby material from the transfer foil adheres to the target surface. When the transfer foil is removed from the surface of the object, the material of the transfer foil, which has adhered to the target surface, makes up a copied fine structure (104), which is a mirror image of the original fine structure of the transfer foil. Fine structures, which produce a diffractive optical effect, can be manufactured with the method for different purposes, such as a copied fine structure, which produces a decorative optical effect, or a copied fine structure, which functions as a coupling grating for a light beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of markers for distinguishing between active Crohn's disease and patients in remission. The uses of such markers in the differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease and a novel method for their identification are herein described. We were able to discriminate between patients with active Crohn's disease and patients in remission by determining whether the exhaled air contained markers selected from that set. We also found that these markers can be used in the early diagnosis of active Crohn's disease. Moreover, these markers may be useful in the prediction of the occurrence of active Crohn's disease even when no other clinical signs are apparent yet.
